Even if this 5 game win streak has convinced you that the last 2 years mean nothing - you can still look at the fact that we have a 6.375M 4th line centre and a 5.25M 4th line LW.
Imagine that cap space being spent on an elite #1 centre instead.
Assuming the deal is Monahan + Zadarov or Lucic + 1st + 1st + Zary + Pelletier, the subtraction from the active roster is insignificant next to the power of Eichel.
